72 Get Inside Your Kid's World to Connect - An Interview with Damon Rich

This week I corner Damon Rich. This week we explore his experiences as a father. We also delve into how he broke the cycle of not having a dad who was present and then being blessed with a phenomenal stepdad who set a new example and inspired him to be a great dad. Show highlights: The danger of measuring yourself against other dads The importance of being truly present with your kids Softening our rough and tough demeanor to connect with our kids The importance of going into your kid’s world and creating a connection Recognizing each child is different so you need to parent differently Giving your kids space until they are in a good place to discuss problems You can’t spank your kids for everything. You need to learn to teach more than discipline Teaching your kids to think through consequences Allow kids the opportunity to think through challenges and allow them to make the choice The power of having your kids write an essay as part of the discipline Your true legacy is what you do with your children How he broke the cycle of not having a dad Check out Damon at Marriage Refresh https://www.marriagerefresh.net/ Instagram: @damonrichspeaks Thank you for joining me every week as we explore fatherhood and how we can be be best fathers, husbands and best men possible.
